PDF to Word Converter Online — Free, No Installation
Converting a PDF to a Word document lets you edit the content in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. This is useful when you receive a PDF but need to update its text, reformat it, or copy content into another document. Our free online converter extracts the text from your PDF and saves it as a .docx file — entirely in your browser, with no uploads to any server.
How PDF to Word conversion works
Upload your PDF by dragging it onto the page or clicking the upload area. The converter reads the text layer of the document page by page and reconstructs it as paragraphs in a Word document. Each page is preserved as a labeled section in the output. Click Convert to Word and then download the resulting .docx file.
Best results with text-based PDFs
PDFs come in two types: text-based PDFs that contain a searchable text layer, and image-based PDFs that are scans of paper documents. Text-based PDFs convert accurately since the text data is embedded directly in the file. Image-based (scanned) PDFs do not have a text layer, so very little text can be extracted. A warning is displayed when the converter detects a scan.
Output compatible with all editors
The output is a standard .docx file, compatible with Microsoft Word 2007 and later, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Apple Pages. The document preserves paragraph structure and page-by-page organization. You can open it immediately after downloading and continue editing the content.
Free plan and Pro plan
Free users can convert PDF files up to 5 MB. Pro users can convert files of any size with no restrictions. The Pro plan also removes all limits across compress, merge, and split tools — everything you need for professional PDF work in one place.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my converted document look different from the PDF?
PDF is a fixed-layout format not designed for editing. When converted to Word, the text is extracted as flowing paragraphs without the exact original layout. Headers, columns, and tables may not be preserved perfectly.
Can I convert multiple pages at once?
Yes. The converter processes all pages of the PDF in a single operation. Each page appears as a labeled section in the resulting Word document.
Does the converter support non-English text?
Yes. The converter extracts whatever text is embedded in the PDF. As long as the PDF contains a text layer in any language, it will be extracted correctly.
What if the PDF has tables or images?
Images are not included in the Word output — only text is extracted. Table structures may not be preserved; the text content of table cells is extracted as paragraphs.
